"'I will allow it'," he mimicked in an insipid little voice. Immediately afterwards  he felt foolish and regretted being so childish, which was impressive really considering how pathetic he already felt being tucked up in bed by Valerian Macnair of all the fucking people. The only person who could tuck him to bed like this was his mama and the whole situation was just an insult to his dignity.

Charles looked at first shocked and then scandalized as the other wizard brazenly grabbed his wand and aimed it elsewhere. He wasn't allowed to do that! Or at the very least he wasn't supposed to do that, he was supposed to feel threatened and compliant. He tried to tug his wand free of Macnair's hand, yanking it harder as he grew increasingly more frustrated by how easily Macnair seemed able to keep his grip. Sparks suddenly erupted from the tip of his wand which was mostly a conscious decision on his part to try and startle him off. "I wasn't aware I was speaking to a complete simpleton, yes that's what I meant, wasn't it obvious enough for you?" His words lacked conviction but that was largely due to his being distracted by his wand.

Today's game of "are Valerian and Charles fighting or is this some weird foreplay?"

Classic November, everyone. This is how she talks to loved ones, I'd love hate to be her enemy.

Wanna be there for Sweetie during her post-election slump?

She wouldn't have cared much about Simonetta getting lost, so long as she wasn't the one who'd lost her.

The readers have probably gathered by now where things were heading, what with the Urquarts being identical twins and their players loving Shenanigans.

I wasn’t trying to drown myself, Savino was a beat away from assuring; but then, he sort of had been, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to get into all of that now.

I'm giggling <3 (this thread)

"And besides," he protested weakly, "I can't read you erotic poetry in the garden. We'd shock the neighbors. Especially if I read with — drama," he said, approaching new heights of embarrassment at the mere thought.

sorry to put you through this, Ford, but lmao <3

“I gave him a promotion and all.” (And a few other things that had job in the name so were obviously totally workplace-appropriate.)

I'm biased, but Tyb getting mushy about Baby Kirke gets me every time.

"He still thought it was – slightly insane, that she was growing a person right now. Their person. A real living human – who apparently needed no rest at all."

MJ always makes her so pretty

Did he even eat cake or chocolate? Carmelina couldn’t fathom the thought: in fact, as she awkwardly made her way to the table in order to slide the tray and her heap of treats out in front of her, the terrible thought crossed her mind that perhaps the staff were prohibited from snacking. She’d never heard anything about it, but – well, she wouldn’t put it past him to have banned Honeyduke’s entirely over the summer.

I love that just because he's an asshole, he mustn't enjoy anything sweet, obviously. He survives solely on the tears of children.

Ishmael wasn’t sure why it always felt like a victory, to have Monty’s attention. It always did, and always had. And it wasn’t the time or the place to be playing games like this, or to really get into it – they were supposed to be on lookout for a reason – but right now Ishmael wanted him more than anything, so he didn’t care.
